実施の形態1において、チリングユニット100は、冷媒が循環する1つの冷媒回路10と、熱媒体が流れる熱媒体回路30の配管等から構成される。冷媒回路10は、圧縮機1と、第1流路切替装置2と、一対の空気側熱交換器と、第2流路切替装置8と、減圧装置と、熱媒体側熱交換器7等とを有し、これらは冷媒配管を介して接続されている。またチリングユニット100は、熱媒体回路30の一部を含み、熱媒体回路30の一部には、循環ポンプ31と、上記の熱媒体側熱交換器7と、これらを接続する配管等とが含まれる。 (Configuration of chilling unit 100)
In the first embodiment, the
冷却運転において、圧縮機1に吸入された冷媒は圧縮され、高温高圧のガス冷媒となって吐出される。圧縮機1から吐出されたガス冷媒は、第1流路切替装置2を経て冷媒配管13と冷媒配管14とに分流し、凝縮器となる第1空気側熱交換器3と第2空気側熱交換器4にそれぞれ流入して周囲の空気に放熱しながら冷却され、高圧中温の冷媒となる。このとき、冷媒配管14に設けられた第2流路切替装置8は通常制御時の接続状態となっている。つまり、三方弁8aは、第1流路切替装置2と第2空気側熱交換器4とを接続し、三方弁8bは、第2空気側熱交換器4と減圧装置とを接続している。その後、高圧中温の冷媒は、合流し、減圧装置の膨張弁5で減圧されて低圧二相の状態になり、蒸発器である熱媒体側熱交換器7に流入する。このとき、副膨張弁6は閉となっており、バイパス回路に冷媒は流れない。そして、低圧二相の冷媒は、熱媒体側熱交換器7において、熱媒体回路30を流れる熱媒体から熱を吸収して加熱蒸発され、低圧低温のガス冷媒となる。熱媒体側熱交換器7から流出したガス冷媒は、第1流路切替装置2を経た後、再度圧縮機1に吸入される。一方、熱媒体側熱交換器7において温度が低下した熱媒体は、チリングユニット100から負荷側機器に送られる。 (Normal control)
In the cooling operation, the refrigerant sucked into the
通常制御の運転時に、負荷側機器の負荷が圧縮機1の最低容量以下の低負荷になると、発停回避制御が実施され、第2流路切替装置8の接続状態が切り替えられる。このとき、三方弁8aは、第2空気側熱交換器4と第2バイパス管17とを接続し、三方弁8bは、第1バイパス管16と第2空気側熱交換器4とを接続する。つまり、第1空気側熱交換器3と第2空気側熱交換器4との並列接続は解除され、第2空気側熱交換器4と熱媒体側熱交換器7とが並列接続される。図3に示すように、第2空気側熱交換器4の冷媒流れの方向は、発停回避制御時には通常制御時とは逆方向となる。またこのとき、副膨張弁6は開とされ、膨張弁5及び副膨張弁6の開度がそれぞれ調整される。 (Start / stop avoidance control)
When the load of the load side device becomes a low load equal to or lower than the minimum capacity of the

A
冷却運転において、圧縮機1bに吸入された冷媒は圧縮され、高温高圧のガス冷媒となって吐出される。圧縮機1bから吐出されたガス冷媒は、第1流路切替装置2bを経て、凝縮器となる空気側熱交換器3bに流入して周囲の空気に放熱し、高圧中温の冷媒となる。空気側熱交換器3bを流出した高圧中温の冷媒は、膨張弁5bで減圧されて低圧二相の状態になり、蒸発器である熱媒体側熱交換器7bに流入する。熱媒体側熱交換器7bにおいて、低圧二相の冷媒は、熱媒体回路230を流れる熱媒体から熱を吸収して加熱蒸発され、低圧低温のガス冷媒となる。熱媒体側熱交換器7bから流出したガス冷媒は、第1流路切替装置2bを経た後、再度圧縮機1bに吸入される。一方、熱媒体側熱交換器7bにおいて熱を放出し、温度が低下した熱媒体は、チリングユニット200から負荷側機器に送られる。 (Normal control)
In the cooling operation, the refrigerant sucked into the compressor 1b is compressed and discharged as a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant. The gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1b passes through the first flow
